Spirit, Soul and Body:  The Universal Call to Contemplation.  The call to contemplation and  mystical depth is not only found in every spiritual tradition; it is meant for  every person, not just professional religious.  Based on the pioneering  work of the English monk Bede Griffiths and his predecessor Abhishiktananda,  Cyprian Consiglio has built a practice and program that integrates the study  of and techniques from the East--notably Hinduism and Buddhism--with the  wisdom of Eastern and Western Christianity for an experience aimed at the  whole person--spirit, soul and body.  As Bede Griffiths taught the need  to integrate all three of these aspects of the person at all times--what Ken  Wilber would later call integral spirituality--, the days will include yoga,  meditation, music and chanting, sacred reading, teaching, prayer and  discussion.

Cyprian Consiglio is a monk of the Camaldolese  Congregation, musician, composer, writer and teacher.  Much of both his  music and his teaching revolve around the Universal Call to Contemplation  through spirituality and the arts.
